FIRE
Fire burns, Fire destroys, Fire warms, Fire nourishes Heat shapes the cold All in the light of expression’s journey into a place in time

The Breath of Emptiness
The winds blow in emptiness Untethered in purpose. A stranger traveling over land and sea, Now-and-then touching Meaning and purpose, And yet compelling in its story, Incomplete without end. All does not have conclusion in death, In the eternal stirring of meaning We can only yield to its random breath.
It’s Time to Share and Apply What Belongs to All
How does meaning get so lost In the singularity of self? How do we reach that which is out of reach? Why and how does sense get so lost In the delusions of Self, And in the ego’s walking without sight? Will it not fall into the Black Hole of it’s own doing? Don’t we … Read more
Coming and Going
Death comes with the certainty of time Losing ones grip on life From the shell of illusion’s dependence In the challenge to see actuality In the pulse of reality. Each confined to their time In their own dimension of form From molecule to star Each and all Comes and goes, near and far. While the … Read more
Crunching The Lunch or “You’re Not Worth Your Salt”
When was the last time You had to clear the slaughter’s slime? The barn calls out for food and grime, Cleaning up the cow’s hide To fill the freezer space, Waiting for dinner’s grace, Remember leaning over in hours bent Pulling weeds in growth’s intent, To vegetate the lettuce, celery and rice, Carrots, potato, roots … Read more
A Cruel Emptiness
How does one hold death’s violent promise in one’s heart? How does one embrace the good wars and disregard the killing? Where in the human soul does this reside? Sanity is lost in its gory flood where concern is given up in fear and rage. What are we to do in this dilution of reason? Are … Read more
Liberating Life From Death
How do we find The part of the mind Given to humankind To fill the struggle with meaning In the understanding Of arbitrary Pain and death? In a cruel jungle of eating of each other In wild-seeking to gain a grip on reason Without sensitivity of a heart’s embrace To manage control, in kindness to … Read more
Blinded In Freedom
I can’t see What lives within me; I don’t know what is in Life That surrounds me; Am I free knowing none of this, In a delusion of individuality, Including the deadly side Of Life’s biology?
Blinded All By Myself
Can I see you without me? Can I know of life at a distance Beyond my own eyes? Some see beyond their own identity, Some use more than their eyes to see, Others also see what is beyond knowing’s touch. What does it mean to reach beyond one’s self? In the capacity to see someone’s … Read more
Sailing On the Ship of Fools
Drifting, spinning, turning, Fast then slow, Moving unaware On a giant Ship of Life; Failing to look into the portholes of infinite time, In the eternal breath of fast and slow, Movement of stepping, Left-to-right, back-and-forth, over again-and-again, It is in the biology of self, Sailing on the brief journey through one’s life Where we … Read more
